I like the idea of labelling the loads for the different wagons too.

One hump or 2 or even 3, seemed to depend on the type of coal. Most photo's of 10 or 12 tonners show 2 distinct humps from the 2 chutes per wagon at the screens/storage bins, especially with small nuts and slack. Less pronounced with large lumps which look like one hump. Gas works and small house coal were sometimes loaded using 3 chutes giving 3 humps. I know calcined iron ore was also loaded into 10 tonners using 2 chutes per wagon.

The plastic wrap worked well. Not my idea, I saw it somewhere.
Some of the materials I used: PVA, IP Alcohol for wetting, coal and a pot of dilute PVA mixed with soap and IPA. I used a pipette to dispense the dilute glue.

Loads removed. The glue is still wet where air couldn't get at it so I'll leave them to dry thoroughly.

You can drill some 1/16" holes into the coal to get the drying moving along. Looks the business. M620356 is definitely from the "Humphrey" mine.
